History The growth of the University's student population during the 1960s convinced Athletic Director William J. Flynn that a recreational space for students and employees of Boston College was sorely needed. He suggested a $25 student recreation fee to help finance the project, and Boston College borrowed the necessary funds to complete it. The Recreation Complex opened in March 1972 and was dedicated to Flynn in 1979.
